Anti-M is usually a naturally occurring antibody directed against M in the MNS blood group system. It does not require exposure to the antigen from previous transfusion or pregnancy. Anti-M is usually of the immunoglobulin M (IgM) isotype, binds best at about 4°C, binds well at room temperature, and rarely binds at 37°C. As a result of its lack of binding at 37°C, anti-M is usually clinically insignificant. There have been rare cases reported of an anti-M that reacts at 37°C. Such an exceptional anti-M may cause hemolytic transfusion reactions. We report a case of a warm-reactive anti-M and the investigational process used to identify it.
抗-M 通常是一种针对 MNS 血型系统中 M 的天然存在的抗体。它不需要暴露于先前输血或妊娠的抗原。抗-M 通常为免疫球蛋白 M(IgM)同种型,在约 4°C 时结合最佳,在室温下结合良好,很少在 37°C 时结合。由于其在 37°C 时结合不良,抗-M 通常在临床上意义不大。曾有报道称,罕见情况下抗-M 在 37°C 时发生反应。这种特殊的抗-M 可能会引起溶血性输血反应。我们报告了一例温反应性抗-M 及其鉴定过程。
